Hello and welcome to Pastor Rick's Daily Hope. We are so glad that you're here. You know, in this world,

we all go through trials and we experience losses, but the good news is that God is always with you,

and you can never lose his love. Stay tuned today as Rick continues his series called The Key to Hope.

And now we're going to jump right in with Rick, and here is the final part of a message called

What's Holding You Back? Now, how do you let go of your wounds? Well, if the only way to let go of

your worries is prayer, the only way to let go of your worries is prayer, the only way to let go of your wounds

is forgiveness.

Forgiveness.

There is no other antidote to your hurt and pain.

There's no other way you're going to get past your past except through forgiveness.

I don't care what kind of therapy you go through. I don't care what kind of therapy you go through.

I don't care what kind of book you read,

what kind of mumbo-jumbo, seance you go to, or whatever.

It's not going to work because there's only one antidote

to the pain of the past, and it is always forgiveness.

You say, well, they don't deserve to be forgiven.

Well, neither did you.

And God's forgiven you.

You don't forgive people because they deserve it.

You forgive people for two or three reasons.

Number one, God says to do it.

Number two, God is forgiven you.
